Due to the complexity of crafting and automation, things can sometimes go awry, but not in the ways that one expects. Here's how to fix them!

Those looking for a game all about building, upgrading, and automation should definitely check out Satisfactory. In this title, players get dropped onto an alien world with just a few tools to begin with, however, they can quickly and efficiently set up self-running factories to produce increasingly complex components and devices.

Due to the complexity of the machines, crafting, and automation, things can sometimes go awry, but not in the ways that the developers intended. Glitches and bugs are not by any means common, though, they do exist. Thankfully, players on PC have access to console commands which can help them out of tricky and unexpected situations.

To enable the console, players will need to press the Control, Shift, and L keys simultaneously, though, keep in mind that the game will not give one any feedback to determine whether or not this was successful. This enabling is maintained until the player exits the game.

Now that the console has been enabled, players can open up the console command window by pressing the Tilde key. Pressing the Tilde key again will increase the size of the window, which makes it easier to input longer commands. After this, one can now input console commands as desired.

The majority of the commands that one can input are relatively straightforward with the exception of the Debug commands. Players stuck somewhere or encountering an unfortunate glitch can still use non-Debug commands to resolve issues, and this is preferable as they are easier to input.
